I use Arbiter to assign my league. I've had experience with AssignByWeb as well. Both work well, I prefer Arbiter.

None of these are free.

You could also contact Cameron Rust who posts on the basketball side of this forum.

Several assocaitons across the nation use his "net based" assigining system.

His system is called RefTown.

Contact JNC Enterprises to get an assigning program set up. It is the best program there is.

Assuming for Windows, you will have several choices, none of them particularly good. The Arbiter was written for a non Windows PC, it's got a steep learning curve as over time they kept adding and adding as they evolved to cover many sports. Their .Net product has been buggy and if you are on dialup, it's even quirkier. Arbiter still has control of the market so they are very stable as a company. Their pricing is tiered, the more umpires the greater the cost. I don't like that personally but it says a tom about their market control.

Several web only assigning software companies have come and gone, be careful, once you are online, it's tough to return to offline/manual.

You don't have many choices so no matter, the suggestions are few.
